DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The making of this practice net consist of cutting ¾ in. roundstock material, copper or pvc. It can also be made with aluminum orthreaded galvanized pipe also. It is cut with a standard hand held tubecutter. The better golfers aide consist of 20 pcs. 17, ¾ in. pieces ofround copper or pvc. 9—straight pcs., 3 that are 24 ins., 4 that are 18ins. and 2 that are 12 in. pcs. 6—90 degree elbows and 2—¾ in. Tsections. 1—net that is 36×42 ins., and 2 anchors which are standardU-bolts they are ½×5 ins.

[0014] You can put the practice net together by laying out the parts ona table or the floor. The base consist of 12 pcs. 2—24 in. pcs., 2—18in. pcs., 2—12 in. pcs., 4—90 degree elbows and 2—T's. Take the 2—18 in.pcs. and slide a T-section on each one. Then put a 12 in. pc. in theopposite end of the T with the 90 end strait uo. You should have 2 pcs.that look exactly alike. Then put a 90-elbow on each end of both pieces,using a total of 4 elbows, again you should have 2 pcs. that look alike.Lay both pieces down flat, turning the elbow in toward each otherkeeping the t-section facing up , you can do this easily by just turningthe pieces. Keep the 2—18 in pcs. one end and the 2—12 in. pcs. at theother. Place a 24 in. pc. in the end of the 90's at both ends. Youshould have a rectangle. The top consist of 5—pcs. 2—90 degree elbowsand three straight 24 in. pcs. Slide a 90 on each end of one of the 24in. pcs., then slide a 24 in. pc. in each end of the 90's. With the 2straight pcs. facing the same direction, place them in the T's on thebase. The only part that doesn't get permanently glued is the the 2 legsthat go in the T-section. The Base can be put together permanently andthe 2—90's on top. The top should be able to be taken out of the base soit lays flat for storage or travel. A permanent glue can be used or a J.B. weld type of sealer for copper applications.

[0015] The net should go before you connect the rear to the t-section.To put the net on seperate the base at the T section, the 18 in. partrepresents the rear of the practice net. Slide the 36 in. part of thenet all the way around the rear base. Then slide the top section throughthrough the rest of the 1 in. opening of the net. Then put the top backin the base the net will be loose for the purpose of catching the ballwhen it's being hit into the net. Now totally assembled the base can besecured with the u-bolts in plywood

1. What I claim as my invention is a golf practice net that I call thebetter golfers aide.
 2. I claim that i constructed the better golfersaide out of several different types of ¾ inch materials, such as pvc,copper, aluminum and galvanized along with different diameters oftubing.
 3. I claim that FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 of the specifications show thebetter golfers aide in different variations. FIG. 5 shows the sameheight and a different width FIG. 6 shows the same width and a differentheight. Both variations share the same design and the same utilitarianusage.
